    His trick was just escaping from a straijacket (the rest was just showmanship), and there are quite a few ways to do that

    He knows how long it takes to get out straight jacket so he makes up a story using the number...
    At the point of reaching up to 'escape, there is a button which releases the jaws of the bear trap a couple of seconds later.
    If he hadn't got out of straight jacket in 53 seconds nothing would have happened

    Those ' jaws' were never going to kill him. They never even got close to closing. :p:p

    I'm guessing his straight jacket was tied to just the right tightness which would have enabled him to get out of it easily when he needed to get out of it. I also think he'll have had an earpiece in with someone counting down the time for him.

    It was a good trick - a twist on a Houdini act. Had he repeated his tricks from before we'd all of felt a bit let down.

    It wasn't a trick apparently.
    He stated before he did it that it wasn't a trick.

    After he escaped did anybody pay attention to the 'human bear trap' closing?:D

    I can't imagine it would've done much harm to any "human bears" who had the misfortune to get "trapped" in it. A couple of light bruises, maybe....

    I like the guy, but there's nothing remotely original about any of his routines, although he did the doves act in his audition particularly well.

    I thought the impressive part of the performance was the timing.

    And your questions are badly formed.

    And you're rude!

    So, even if you ask a correctly formed question, you'll now have to wait for an answer from someone else.

    I suggest you look at your own faults before you criticize others.

    And your tits are as flat as two small pancakes.

    Have a nice day.

    No. I was looking at your questions.

    If you didn't get the answer you require, you should look at the questions you asked.
